ABSTRACT: 
Intentional islanding describes the condition in which a microgrid or a portion of the power grid, 
which consists of a load and a distributed generation (DG) system, is isolated from the remainder 
of the utility system. In this situation, it is important for the microgrid to continue to provide 
adequate power to the load. Under normal operation, each DG inverter system in the microgrid 
usually works in constant current control mode in order to provide a preset power to the main 
grid. When the microgrid is cut off from the main grid, each DG inverter system must detect this 
islanding situation and must switch to a voltage control mode. In this mode, the microgrid will 
provide a constant voltage to the local load. This paper describes a control strategy that is used to 
implement grid-connected and intentional-islanding operations of distributed power generation. 
This paper proposes an intelligent load-shedding algorithm for intentional islanding and an 
algorithm of synchronization for grid reconnection.

CONCLUSION: 
Through this paper, the control, islanding detection, load shedding, and reclosure algorithms 
have been proposed for the operation of grid-connected and intentional-islanding DGs. A 
controller was designed with two interface controls: one for grid-connected operation and the 
other for intentional islanding operation. An islanding-detection algorithm, which was 
responsible for the switch between the two controllers, was presented. The simulation results 
showed that the detection algorithm can distinguish between islanding events and changes in the 
loads and can apply the load-shedding algorithms when needed. The reclosure algorithm causes 
the DG to resynchronize itself with the grid. In addition, it is shown that the response of the 
proposed control schemes is capable of maintaining the voltages and currents within permissible 
levels during grid connected and islanding operation modes. The experimental results showed 
that the proposed control schemes are capable of maintaining the voltages within the standard 
permissible levels during grid-connected and islanding operation modes. In addition, it was 
shown that the reclosure algorithm causes the DG to resynchronize itself with the grid.
